Shows get renewed before a season premieres all the time.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is filming season 4 and season 3 isn't even out yet, Fallout will probably get a Season 3 announcement before Season 2 comes out, etc.

Besides, Mazin/Druckmann announced when it was renewed for Season 2 that they would be splitting the second game over 2 seasons, so this was just a formality.

Whoever did that review thread for season 2 must be dead since this renewal is because of the stellar reviews for season 2 alone

HBO has renewed the Emmy-winning drama series for a third season ahead of its highly anticipated return this weekend. The news comes on the heels of the show's new episodes receiving glowing reviews from critics, with season two currently sitting at a 92 percent positive average on Rotten Tomatoes, and The Hollywood Reporter calling it "thrilling" and "addictive."

"We approached season two [trailer below] with the goal of creating something we could be proud of," said co-creator and showrunner Craig Mazin. "The end results have exceeded even our most ambitious goals, thanks to our continued collaboration with HBO and the impeccable work of our unparalleled cast and crew. We look forward to continuing the story of The Last of Us with season three."

People look really sad using critic reviews like some kind of metric. Every piece of shit show gets glazed on RT - especially if panders to woke bs. I've lost count of the amount of shows that have great critic RT scores and horrible user scores. Not saying the show is good or bad - but critic reviews for film and TV mean even less than they do for games, which is already a pretty low bar.

The first season broke all kinds of rating records for HBO as well. Every single metric you can think of, the first season did amazing.

Yeah my partner works at Sky TV New Zealand so they given tickets to an advanced screening at a local cinema and they went all out. Everyone got free Last Of Us baseball caps, complimentary snacks and the cinema seats were super plush, almost didn't want to leave at the end it was so comfy 😂

Oh yes, it really was — they went all out!
The cinema staff were dressed in combat gear, some even barking random orders at us like some Abby look-alike at the entrane asking me to 'state your name soldier' really loudly. I was like why is she yelling at me? lol
They decorated the entrance with loads of bushes and plants that looked like a scene they were pulled straight out of the game. We got Firefly stamps on our wrists, which we had to show to collect drinks, snacks, and some of the free merch.

One of the most fun experiences I've had going to the cinema ever.

Extremely disappointed they are milking the game into 2 seasons. I'm going to wait until they are both out before watching, I'm completely over these multi year breaks between seasons.
 
Season 2 - start of the game and all the flashback scenes , ends with joel's death
Season 3 - starts after joel's death ends with theathre scene
season 4 - abby's side with lev and end game with ellie on the beach

I think this is how they will break the 2nd game into the show

I think it's more that the execs got to see the finished Season 2, and feel comfortable enough in it's quality that they predict it to be successful with the audience. No one is going to commit millions into an extra season of TV just to give a false impression that the earlier unreleased season is good. Especially not the cheap asses at WB.

Much like the first season it's not a 1:1 situation. But from what I gathered, it sounds like they're cutting up TLOU2 material to spread it across multiple seasons. I assumed 2, which this would confirm. But I'm not entirely sure either.

It ain't much in P2 to spread it into many seasons, by the looks of it, they avoided killing this weak ass version of Joel in the season while building the concept of him being the bad guy all along, after that, what? A third season where he gets golfing and this annoying af version of Ellie has to get convinced to avenge him, even tho she already knows by that time he was the bad guy all this time, so why would she want to avenge him? :messenger_grinning_squinting:
